Is there any equivalent for CSS in XSL-FO

2004-06-08 Thread Amita Rathore 

Hi All,

I am creating a pdf which needs a lot
of formatting. Defining the same font size, color for multiple inlines
is redundant. 

I am looking forward to something similar
to CSS. So that I define the formatting at one place and then can reuse
the tag whereever required.

Thanks,

Hi,
 You can create your own template for creating the 
standard formatting attributes. You only need to use that template in each page 
and by this you can reuse the tags.

I created the following template in
the xsl which is using the fo tags:

xsl:template match=B
fo:inline font-weight=bold
xsl:apply-templates/
/fo:inline
/xsl:template

As per my understanding if in this xsl
i write fo:block This is a B test /B /fo:block,
the result should be displayed with test in bold. 

But the test is not getting
displayed at all. Surely I am making a mistake, what is it ?

in XSL you can define attribute sets which define re-usuable groups of 
properties, e.g.

xsl:attribute-set name=Large Text
xsl:attribute name=font-familyHelvetica/xsl:attribute
xsl:attribute name=font-weightbold/xsl:attribute
xsl:attribute name=font-size20pt/xsl:attribute
xsl:attribute name=background-colorblue/xsl:attribute
/xsl:attribute-set
and then re-call the attribute set in your templates, e.g.
xsl:template match=p
fo:block xsl:use-attribute-set=Large Text
xsl:apply-templates/
/fo:block
/xsl:template
I created the following template in the xsl which is using the fo tags:
xsl:template match=B
fo:inline font-weight=bold
xsl:apply-templates/
/fo:inline
/xsl:template
As per my understanding if in this xsl i write fo:block This is a B 
test /B /fo:block, the result should be displayed with test in bold.

But the test is not getting displayed at all. Surely I am making a

The template for processing the B looks okay by itself, the problem is more 
likely to do with the template(s) that process the parent elements of B
